A civilian with a concealed weapon looks just like anyone else in the crowd and thus has a better chance of being able to quickly stop a shooting before it reaches the magic number of fatalities to be considered a mass shooting.
In theory that is wonderful idea. Disgruntled Dan whips out an AK-47 in a mall and shoots Innocent Irene in the back several times. Businessman Bill just witnessed what happened and pulls out his .22 and shoots Disgruntled Dan in the head, saving the rest of the shoppers around Innocent Irene. Businessman Bill notices that Handyman Hank, Shopper Sally, and Gossiper Gladys all had their weapons out and would have killed Disgruntled Dan if Businessman Bill missed. The day is saved and gun rights is praised.
Now if we take a step away from Gbiaji-land and look at reality you will notice that Businessman Bill would have ended up another body in Disgruntled Dan's path.
Not going to touch your idea that schools should no longer be a gun free zone. That certainly tops the cake on some of the dumbest things I have seen you say.
